Contributing to Openstack
If you would like to contribute to the development of OpenStack, you must follow the steps in this page:
If you already have a good understanding of how the system works and your OpenStack accounts are set up, you can skip to the development workflow section of this documentation to learn how changes to OpenStack should be submitted for review via the Gerrit tool:
http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow
Pull requests submitted through GitHub will be ignored.
Bugs should be filed on Launchpad, not GitHub:
Contributing to collectd-ceilometer-plugin
As well as following the OpenStack contribution guidelines, there are a few guidelines that should be observed for this project.
Blueprints
Blueprints are generally not required for features. A bug should be opened in launchpad instead and tagged as "rfe".
Feature development
Each feature should consist of a number of components (below), which can be submitted in separate, dependant patches.
Each patch should function independently, and should work even if the following patches are not applied.
The patches should include the following:
- Feature enabling code
- For larger features, there might be several smaller patches.
- Unit tests
- Tests should be included with the relevant feature code.
- Documentation
- How does the feature work?
- How do you configure this feature when installing a) manually and b) using devstack?
- What configuration options were introduced/changed?
- Examples for particular scenarios should be included in the doc/source/examples/ directory.
- Updates to individual config options should be included in doc/source/usage.rst.
- Deployment code
- At a minimum, deployment code for devstack, including any relevant config options, should be added.
- Deployment code includes any changes to the given configurations.
- Release note
- A reno entry needs to be included for every change: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/reno/usage.html#creating-new-release-notes
Bug Fixes
A bug fix will typically be a single patch, with any relevant changes to documantation, configuration, etc included.
- Release notes should be created using the bug number in the following way::
-
reno new bug-123456
Release notes should reference the bug number and have a brief description of the bug e.g.:: criticalfixes: - Fixed bug #123456: Authentication token now automatically renews after expiry.
